I saw this fun survey-style blog post over on Chelsea Eats Treats and today I’m sharing my answers! This or That Run/workout in the heat and humidity or freezing temps and snow? Freezing cold temps for sure! The heat and humidity absolutely do me in and make me hate everything! While I don’t like to…
Peach Smoothie Recipe
It’s peach season and I got inspiration to hit up the Peach Truck here in Nashville and get some fresh Georgia peaches. As I’m a huge fan of smoothies and have one every morning with my breakfast, I wanted to see what I could come up with using the peaches. I have to admit this…

Snacking Made Easy with Grab the Gold
I am a big fan of snacking. Ideally, not going longer than 3-4 hours without eating something so that you avoid the “hangry” stage where you’re so hungry, you’re angry. Once you are that hungry, it is hard to make good food decisions. You may make a poor decision – grabbing whatever is fast and…
